Solution

The correct option is B

False


The chemical energy present in food materials is released in a step wise manner and used for the formation of universal energy currency ATP during the process of respiration and not photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis utilizes simple inorganic molecules such as carbon dioxide and water to create complex organic compounds and stores the energy trapped from sunlight in these molecules.
